  2. Logarithmic spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_spiral

    Complex exponential function: The exponential function exactly maps all lines not parallel with the real or imaginary axis in the complex plane, to all logarithmic spirals in the complex plane with centre at : () = (+) + ⏟ = + = (⁡ + ⁡) ⏟ The pitch angle of the logarithmic spiral is the angle between the line and the imaginary axis.

  3. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence

    The Fibonacci sequence is one of the simplest and earliest known sequences defined by a recurrence relation, and specifically by a linear difference equation. All these sequences may be viewed as generalizations of the Fibonacci sequence.

  4. Exponential growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_growth

    Growth like this is observed in real-life activity or phenomena, such as the spread of virus infection, the growth of debt due to compound interest, and the spread of viral videos. In real cases, initial exponential growth often does not last forever, instead slowing down eventually due to upper limits caused by external factors and turning ...

  5. Golden spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_spiral

    A Fibonacci spiral approximates the golden spiral using quarter-circle arcs inscribed in squares derived from the Fibonacci sequence. A golden spiral with initial radius 1 is the locus of points of polar coordinates ( r , θ ) {\displaystyle (r,\theta )} satisfying r = φ 2 θ / π , {\displaystyle r=\varphi ^{2\theta /\pi },} where φ ...

  6. Generalizations of Fibonacci numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalizations_of...

    A repfigit, or Keith number, is an integer such that, when its digits start a Fibonacci sequence with that number of digits, the original number is eventually reached. An example is 47, because the Fibonacci sequence starting with 4 and 7 (4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47) reaches 47. A repfigit can be a tribonacci sequence if there are 3 digits in the ...

  7. Biological exponential growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_exponential_growth

    Biological exponential growth is the unrestricted growth of a population of organisms, occurring when resources in its habitat are unlimited. [1] Most commonly apparent in species that reproduce quickly and asexually , like bacteria , exponential growth is intuitive from the fact that each organism can divide and produce two copies of itself.

  8. Random Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_Fibonacci_sequence

    A random Fibonacci sequence is an integer random sequence given by the numbers for natural numbers, where = = and the subsequent terms are chosen randomly according to the random recurrence relation = {+,;,. An instance of the random Fibonacci sequence starts with 1,1 and the value of the each subsequent term is determined by a fair coin toss: given two consecutive elements of the sequence ...

  9. Fibonacci - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci

    In the Fibonacci sequence, each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. Fibonacci omitted the "0" and first "1" included today and began the sequence with 1, 2, 3, ... . He carried the calculation up to the thirteenth place, the value 233, though another manuscript carries it to the next place, the value 377.
